With blazingly fast 4G connectivity and a 1 GHz dual-core processor for up to twice the power of other smartphones, the Android-powered Motorola ATRIX 2 for AT&T is business ready but also doubles as an entertainment center. You'll instantly feel the rush: faster web browsing, faster data download speeds of up to 21 Mbps, seamless multi-tasking, and smooth-as-silk game play. All this on a stunning, razor-sharp 4.3-inch qHD multi-touch screen.

Using Motorola's innovative webtop application, you can connect the ATRIX 2 to an external monitor via Motorola's optional Motorola Lapdock or HD Station to play music and videos on the big screen as well as enjoy full Firefox multi-tab browsing.

With AT&T's 4G network, you'll enjoy mobile broadband speeds up to 4x faster than AT&T's already fast mobile broadband network (learn more below). You also get the AT&T Mobile Hotspot service built right into the smartphone--enabling you to connect additional Wi-Fi-enabled devices to the phone's mobile broadband signal (requires appropriate data plan). This GPS-enabled phone can also access the AT&T Navigator service for turn-by-turn directions.

Thanks to the included ZumoCast app, you'll be able to access music, photos, and videos straight from your computer's hard drive--remotely in real-time. The 8 megapixel camera features a faster viewfinder startup and shutter that takes your picture faster than a standalone digital camera, and it also captures video at Full 1080p HD with smooth 30 fps playback. The ATRIX 2 also comes with a front-facing camera for on-the-go video chats.

While the ATRIX 2 boasts a great deal of entertainment value, features such as device and microSD card encryption, enterprise-grade VPN, enhanced Exchange options and personal information management, and remote wipe make this device ready for the enterprise.

Other features include an 8 GB internal memory plus 2 GB microSD card, 1 GB of RAM, microSD expansion to 32 GB (via optional cards) Bluetooth for hands-free devices and stereo music streaming, full HTML browser with support for Adobe Flash, HDMI output, wireless streaming of media via DLNA, and up to 8.5 hours of talk time.

PC Power from Your Smartphone

Create, edit, and interact with all your documents, media, and content using Motorola's webtop application when connected to one of three optional docks. The ATRIX 2 can be used to browse your favorite web sites with a full Firefox desktop browser, view social networking sites, and use HTML5 web-based applications and supported cloud computing services while running your Android applications in a window. And calls and text messages continue uninterrupted even if the ATRIX 2 is removed from the dock.

You can choose from the HD Station dock (good for webtop use plus multimedia playback) or the Lapdock 100--which provides an all-in-one webtop solution. The Lapdock 100 features a high-definition 10.1-inch display, larger, more ergonomic keyboard, and trackpad.

Capture the Moment

With advanced imaging features, you can take pictures in an instant with shutter response that is faster than a digital camera. With an amazing 8-megapixel camera, you can take pictures clear enough for a poster-sized 16 by 20 inch print. Starting where the original Motorola ATRIX left off, this camera has better resolution so you can capture even more details. Motorola ATRIX 2 also has a Full 1080p HD video capture for the highest video quality, smooth playback at 30 frames per second and speedy startup--you'll never miss a beat from start to finish.

If a wireless hub is nearby, you can also video chat with PCs or other smartphones via GoogleTalk. And to share pictures and videos with your friends and family, the Gallery app makes it easy to post on your social networks in no time. Or what you might call, proof of awesomeness.

Music To Your Ears

With Motorola's unique music player, you get an easy-to-use, music discovery dashboard for instant access to all your favorite artists, past or present, plus their song lyrics. This also includes live, personalized song and video recommendations as well as real-time news and event information from the world of music.

Feel the Power by Being Business Ready

The Motorola ATRIX 2 is the right tool for any job, with everything a business owner wants and just what an employee needs. Motorola ATRIX 2 takes "work smart" to the next level with business-ready security and productivity features that would make any IT department proud. This is above and beyond what's found in basic Android-powered devices, with PIN lock and password protection; inactivity timeouts; data encryption on both the device and the SD card; and the ability to wipe the phone remotely if it's ever lost or stolen.

It doesn't disappoint when it comes to productivity either. Access to corporate address information, calendar resources and conference dialing is quick and easy. And e-mail is easier with the ability to filter, spell check and view or download attachments in a snap.

Vital Statistics

The Motorola ATRIX 2 weighs 5.18 ounces and measures 4.9 x 2.5 x 0.4 inches. Its 1785 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 8.5 hours of talk time, and up to 380 hours (15.9 days) of standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies as well as AT&T's dual-band 4G network (850/1900 MHz; HSPA+/HSDPA/UMTS).

Backhaul is one of the major pieces of a telecommunications network. Think of it as the limbs connecting AT&T's cell towers with AT&T's backbone network that provides access to the Internet.

Coming later in 2011, AT&T will deliver a second layer of 4G network called LTE (Long Term Evolution) that is even faster than HSPA+ speeds.

In areas where either AT&T's 3G or 4G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways.

Note: AT&T's 4G mobile broadband coverage is not available in all areas. 4G speeds delivered by HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul; availability increasing with ongoing backhaul deployment.

Android Gingerbread Operating System

The ATRIX 2 runs the Android 2.3 operating system (dubbed Gingerbread). It features a cleaner, more refined interface with new icons, improved top notification bar, and more intuitive navigation.

Multitasking in Gingerbread allows you the ability to run more than one app at a time. If you're playing a game, you can easily switch to an incoming e-mail and then switch back to the game without losing your place. And like the previous version of Android ("Froyo"), Gingerbread provides support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for access to the full Web.

The onscreen keyboard makes it easier to type thanks to additional spacing between the keys and larger font sizes. And the more you use the keyboard, the easier typing will be as the enhanced suggest feature records previous input history to make better suggestions.

The ATRIX 2 also brings one-touch access to the popular Google mobile services you use every day. It also provides easy access to both personal and corporate e-mail, calendars, and contacts supported by Exchange Server and Gmail. And through Android Market, you'll get access to thousands of useful applications, widgets, and fun games to download and install on your phone, with many more apps being added every day.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

decent android phone for a reasonable price; have been using is since Oct17th. never had a problem. Battery life is good up to this point, I am texting and surfing most of the time, wireless and background data are on, at the end of the day, when I get back to home, battery remains 20~30%. camera is impressive havent used that much however outdoor trials came out as good as a point and shoot camera. it is really a fast phone; never had a crashing problem yet, it runs smooth and fast.couple issue that may concern a buyer; not having headphones and mini hdmi cable included in the retail package. glad to have a front camera option however skype video talking didn't work on the phone (waiting skype* to include this phone in video talking portfolio). the shortcut touch buttons at the bottom of the screen doesn't illuminate sometimes (light sensor might be the reason).

Update @Nov22, it has been a month and still enjoying to use this android phone; just had one issue tho; upgraded the micro sd to 16gb however it didnt work well on Atrix2, i just realized that after taking images and noticed them not being saved in the "dcim" folder. as far as I can tell, it is a hardware problem on the microsd card; since I scan it with windows and found some errors on the card; the 2gb came with the phone still works well.

update @Jan25, The microsd card issue is not happening, anymore. I had returned the damaged microsd card and purchased a more reliable brand from amazon.com. It has been working as expected. I had been experiencing battery life issue since I switched to 16gb microsd card tho. I am not sure it is the usage or the higher capacity microsd is the main reason; havent change the usage significantly.

*update @May07, about skype, it has been available for a while, I just forgot to update; now the video chat is available with atrix 2. Battery life is still good, enough for more than a day.

I spent many years selling phones for Bestbuy as well as for Alltel on the corporate side. I have also worked selling phones third party for many companies. My expectations for phones are pretty high. That being side I got this as a free upgrade at Bestbuy last Sunday. This is an amazing piece of hardware and a really usuable phone.

PROS*Very responsive and stable. I was a bit wary going back to an Android phone. So far it has been amazing. I experience pretty instant responses.*I love the screen it is clear and crisp and the touch response is amazing.*The apps are great. While keeping an eye on the Amazon daily free app you can build a decent collection of apps. Also all the heavy hitters are here just like on the Iphone.*It has an expandable SD slot for up to 32gb's. This is something that both the Apple and current Windows phones lack.*I love Zumocast the streaming app provided through Motorola. As well as the software interface. I have yet to play with the lapdock yet. Though I am seriously considering getting one for the lightweight aspect. I go to school and want something to take notes on. Lugging a laptop, books, and various supplies gets tiresome.*Ability to easily setup to connect to wifi in your constant haunts. With the data prices set by At&t this makes a huge difference. It is also very flexible in setting up data saving abilities.

CONS*I find it annoying that Motorola couldn't give us the HDMI cable with the phone or a bigger SD card. These items cost very little for the OEMs. I do know that often phone companies restrict it so they can upsell their overpriced accessories. It also makes the third party dealers happy to be able to do the same thing.*The camera is good but not great I was hoping for a bit more.Read more ›

I discovered this phone when Amazon did their 1 cent promo. ( That was for new customers only and not upgrade customers so I got mine at Best Buy for FREE on Black Friday.. But $49 is still a steal for this phone) I promptly called my android fanatic brother who informed me that it is basically the Droid Bionic that costs $299 with contract. I read the reviews and decided to take the leap from Iphone 4 to this Atrix 2. I have been longing for a larger screen for a while now, but didn't want to spend $ to switch and I love the iphone! But, this deal got me to switch. Nothing compares to the iphone. That is a different beast altogether. My main thing was I wanted one of those 4.3 inch screens! This fits the deal. It is a gorgeous screen. I'm still getting used to google ( Android ) but it's a learning curve and so far worth it. With google music, it takes all of your newest itunes music ( the DRM free music that has been $1.29 on itunes basically ) and your cd's that you may have uploaded to itunes and transfers them to google music and their cloud. Unlike itunes cloud this one is free! So far it is wonderful! No memory is taken up on my Atrix 2. It works with my Ford Sync bluetooth and sounds good. You are also not dealing with the behemoth itunes program! Everything is connected through a google email account which a lot of us already have or you just make a new one. This phone has the latest and greatest Android phone offerings ( dual core processor, 1 gb of ram ,qHD non pentile display ( higher resolution than the Bionic!) and Gingerbread 2.3. I love the fit and finish of this particular Motorola phone vs the Bionic and such. It has a high quality feel and look to it.Read more ›
